Loved it in a 6 wheeled Transit van, half a day's work for a whole day's pay, cos the guy on holiday was slow and disorganised.Fair one, multi droop is the devils work speshurly round tight streets.
Ours love going out too, one is always bothering us to have the door opened yet again. but unlike yours they don't then go and sleep out there.Thought for the day - Why do I seem to have the only dogs who relish going out regardless of the weather?
It's gonna be one of those days I think.Massively behind today motivation waning almost spent. Coffee just being slurped and dogs have not been walked
In your shoes I think I'd get the free survey done then. and discuss it with the neighbours. But if it is like getting an unadopted road tarmacked round here, They'll do nowt, wait until one or two poor suckers pay for it then hope their chances of getting it have suddenly got cheaper, or they'll try to hack your Wifi!!Fast Broadband - finally cracked it, or have I?
Have a read of the letter which I received an hour ago:-

Like me with a car.I wish the list wasn't so long! I have not really kept up with the maintenance so my own fault
I have heard of small places that have done it off their own bat somehow, using a Sat dish or some other means of relaying it, which was cheaper. Once shared.Possibly not, but when you take into account that, at the most, there are only 10 of us and that's including three outlying farms. Can you see the wealthy farmers splashing out money? Four of the other properties are ones owned by and rented out by same farmers, two others are owned and rented out by members of these same farming families, so that leaves only three of us to pay up!!
Hope it went OK. i didn't touch the pooter yesterday.So, I'm off! My appointment is for 2.40 and it's a good hour and15 mins to get there, just hope there's no blocks 'cos detours round 'ere are calculated in hours 'needed'.
Good on you mate!Tis getting colder.
done my good deed for the week. While in the services I popped into greggs for a pasty & saw some nice ambulance crews behind me. As they chatted they said let’s get some doughnuts.
Well I had the last 2 packs of doughnuts & 2 pasty’s you heard the tutts of disgust. well that changed when I handed the packs over & said enjoy.
I had a farmer mate who had 3 power lines cross in the middle of his farm. he had 300 acres. If he had done no work that year he'd a bin OK, thanks to the compo..Give them a call to see what the cost is. Only go as far as you can with quotes while its free. If you need to pay for a quote then tell.them yer not interested. Adding faster internet can change the value if yer house. Peeps check these things before buying so yer could benefit if yer still moving.
Being oat in the sticks with farmers int necessarily a problem. They will be interested int bb anorl. It opens up business opportunities for them. There is a gov plan to roll oat fibre to every house int uk but the gov were upset to find the fibre din't actually go to the house. Secondly they were assured the houses wouldn't be charged and din't realise this was refering to direct charging... the shock was comical. Bb sellers absorbed the cost into their business model. The one they share the cost of across their customers. As if the gov thought they were going to find free money somewhere. It will be fibre to the eggschange and possibly a box on the side of the road which is a local network point. The last leg will still be copper cable. But that's good enough.
When they refer to fast bb they're saying faster than 10 meg. It will probably be 35 meg they is offering. That's more than enough to watch freelander video's ont youtube.
If there's trenches to be dug, farmers will be interested in that work. I once met a chap who wanted power to his barn. Saved himself thousands of sovs by digging the trench himself ready for the lectric peeps to finish the job, across his field.
Just remembered i had to dig the trench from the house to the road, and put the conduit in, in order to get a landline to our French house. Did it by hand Wiv a spade in it) in the heat of French summer. Found the builders had dumped a lot of waste rocks there. Stopped eventually and took a detour so dug 1+1/2 as much as i needed to.Give them a call to see what the cost is. Only go as far as you can with quotes while its free.

Wifey's zoom with her mates yessday, they were saying how it gave them slight flu'like symptoms, but nowt to worry about. Wifey will be having the Astra one as she has allergies. Don't think she had a lot of choice anyway!Not rainin' so I'm 'appy.
I am almost disappointed that I haven't got the slightest sign of having had the vac.,, not even a slightly sore arm. I was rather hoping I could tell the wee fellow to go back to bed 'cos I couldn't possibly open the door with such a sore arm
